Barra Airguns

Active

Overview

Barra Airguns produces air rifles, pistols, airsoft guns, and accessories using power sources like CO2, electric, single/multi-pump, break barrel, spring, and PCP. The brand targets plinking, target shooting, small game hunting, and firearm crossovers with realistic designs and affordable pricing. It has grown since 2018 by expanding product ranges and innovating in multi-pump and regulated PCP models.

History

Barra Airguns was founded in 2018 in Bentonville, Arkansas, by two friends passionate about outdoors and shooting sports, partnering with an airgun enthusiast. It emerged as the brainchild of Moab Ventures, which acquired rights to Bear River and Black Ops USA airguns that year. The company launched its flagship 1866 Cowboy Air Rifle and has since expanded with new models like the 250Z and 1100Z PCP rifles, as shown in 2025 SHOT Show updates.
